Wait, ordered a $450 bottle of wine on someone else's dime?? On their client's dime?? Good lord.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

YES. I am all agog. And I can't tell anyone because it just happened last night and I really shouldn't know.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
That's either epically ballsy or epically clueless. Either way, it's pretty amazing.

Oh it's the latter. Hes kind of a pretentious little shit and very high on himself as a wine guy. And I actually like him well enough but come on.
Mr. Clueless shares an assistant with the guy I was traveling with today, to whom she is much more loyal. She shared a nugget of an email today from the head of the practice to mr. C ranting about reckless and irresponsible and unprofessional.

To think I got called out for taking a couple of colleagues out for a business lunch (that cost maybe $40) without getting it pre-approved. I can't imagine $450 on a bottle of wine on the client's dime.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
That is insane, Brenda!

Holy Shit, Brenda. I can't even. Epically clueless is too small a word for that guy.
Such a profound error of judgment should remove him from ever having Amy client contact, ever again.
Because the client will assume he's as cavalier about their money in the business setting, as well.

The status is NOT quo.
Announcement: DST starts again a week from Sunday.
WHAT? Didn’t we just fall back? I think I’ve lost some months.
